[GKN Overdrive]

Yep. 1:22 transfer case.

Not sure about the cross-drilled gear, though.

Better wait for a grown-up to answer that. I'd like to know too, but I'd always assumed it was a further upgrade.

Have any forum mmebers done this? My old series 3 had a Fairey overdrive 21% gear up (I think) this made a big impact on mpg took it from 18 upt to 22mpg.

Could the 1.22 Disco T gears give similar?

[Caliper upgrade to vented]

I'm presuming similar can be done to the 110 with the correct parts also?

Looks a good mod for uprated motor project. Does anyone know if a drum to disc rear conversion is practical?

OK, chaps so can I use my 3.5 heads and stick the Efi kit on top of that or do I need to use 3.9 Efi heads?

There seems to an amount of 4.6 stuff around stripped out of Rangies like a 4.6 plenum and other bits. I assume that this will only fit a 4.6 manifold/head set up so would not be suitable for my build?

Lastly (for this post) with MS fitted would I run the risk of doing my block in via the liners loosening route as seen in a number of non-carbed v8 failures, if so is there a fix to prevent this?

Cheers Mr Fridge,

Looks like I've some reading to do, EFi seems the way forward at my budget level. I'll need a bit of help working out compatibilities and then make a shopping list.

I was very happy with LPG and had planned to use it again, there was a little drop in power less punch on acceleration but other than that it started better, warmed up faster and smelt better!

See you all soon!

I was coming to this realisation yesterday and began to look at the ptracticalities of economically building up my 4.6 block with a fuel injection topend, though as yet I'm not sure if this will fit in a sensible way with the 3.5 heads. A 4.6 with a totaled block might be the way to go and salvage the parts from it.

This is a lot more of a project than I had planned, but 4.6 kit looks a lot cheaper than it did a while back, especially Efi.

I'm no expert and don't use the gas stuff.....

I would suggest people like Bull Bar Cowboy, Hybrid From Hell or Fridgefreezer can advise you better on the engine...

I just plugged one in and am learning in arrears.

I can tell you it makes a nice noise, drinks a few sips of fuel here and there but best of all. Makes me smile

Thank you for the welcome, I looked at Omax, it's very expensive for my needs. My deliberation is due to not knowing what to expect from the weber in terms of economy, if it does not return better economy than the SU/Strom set up I may not bother.

I have the 4.6 block as stated plus all the other 3.5 ancilliaries it will need a top end rebuild and cam anyway, add to this a gas kit and we are talking some cash. I love the V8 burble, however, the lure of a very economic 200TDi is strong, factor in a bit of performance enhancement and it has much to offer - undeniably less power.

My 4.6 on SUs did about about 10mpg on LPG on the motorway less on short journeys. If the weber can take this to 15 it's a goer if not it's a lot of cash for more torque/bhp.

So to summarize my ramble what I want is my 110 to do towing speed in 5th with at about 15mpg (this would be 30ish mpg financial equivalent). I've never had a sports car so the 4.6 monster would be it! Mr Frugal is tempted by diesel though...

Help please!

Hello LR Fora members,

I have a 4.6 V8 block which I had been going to rebuild with a webber 500, torque max cam and run it on LPG with an ignition module, however having read the comments on the weber I'm rethinking.

My desire is to make an engine that has some torque but can achieve a realistic level of economy (I driven v8s for a few years so know what what "realistic" is) It's use would be a towing and family drive.

So, in your opinnions what are the benefits of;

Staying with the SU/Stromberg type OEM carbs or going to Megasquirt/Megajolt (If this canb be achieved on a 4.6l
